Jill Murphy's classic, much-loved "The Worst Witch" series is the original story of life at a magical boarding school, perfect for 5-9 readers. Loveable but accident-prone Mildred Hubble is possibly the worst witch ever to go to Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches...'Oh no...You've done it now Mildred!' Mildred Hubble is a trainee at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, but she's making an awful mess of it. She keeps getting her spells wrong and crashing her broomstick. And when she turns Ethel, the teacher's pet into her worst enemy, chaos ensues..."Millions of young readers have fallen under the spell of Jill Murphy's Worst Witch". ("Sunday Express"). If you'd like to read more of Mildred's disastrous adventures at Miss Cackle's Academy "The Worst Witch Strikes Again", "A Bad Spell for the Worst Witch", "The Worst Witch All at Sea", "The Worst Witch Saves the Day" and "The Worst Witch to the Rescue" are also available from Puffin and are perfect for children aged 5-9.
Jill Murphy
Jill Murphy was born in London in 1949. From a very early age she was drawing and writing stories, and was already putting books together (literally, with a stapler) by the time she was six. She went on to study at Chelsea, Croydon and Camberwell Schools of Art. Jill worked in a children's home for four years and as a nanny for a year, before becoming a freelance writer and illustrator. The Worst Witch stories are some of Puffin's most successful titles.
